Part two of this story:

Dumb Lowtax posted:



Our cat Moo Moo does something very strange. She is normally very quiet and makes the mouth motions of a meow without any sound coming out when she sees you. But every night when we go to sleep, or even take a nap or get too quiet for a while, she'll start making a very sad, low, loud meow. She'll walk all around the house doing this even when she knows where we are. Then we'll hear her climb up an elaborate series of platforms to a shelf where there's a big stuffed blue Hippo kept very far out of reach for decoration. We'll hear the low meows get closer and closer, but with a little hint of pride behind them and some high trills thrown in. We'll always wake up to the blue Hippo on the floor by our bed, possibly with a few toy mice too.





Hear her chirp sound from that second gif:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BhXFrS9lzee/?taken-by=moo_squared

She did it again today.



And then again.



And one more time that we didn't photograph. She runs up a bunch of shelves on top of the fireplace to it every chance she gets.

In fact before the fireplace we used to keep it here inside this grey cube shelf:



But she got it too much.

The only thing that got her to stop attacking it today was taking a nap with us. Moo Moo, exhausted from all the platforming to attack blue hippos.

Holy gently caress that kitty jungle gym. I want to build one so bad, Bowie especially is a tree cat-- bitch hops up onto the cabinets above the sink and stares at me with his resting bitch face while I do dishes. It's loving precious. Bubs likes being up high too but can't jump as far as she used to, b/c she turned into a curvy floof. She's been losing weight since we got Bo Bean tho so soon she shall jump amazing heights again!!

It's just such a pain constructing something like that in an apartment. I might have to do it anyway. Moo Moo looks hella content!

That jungle gym is accessed by means of this "tree" I made for her to run up. I had an outdoor cat that would run up each tree in front of us while we hiked, and I wanted to see if Moo Moo could do it. It's spaced out from the wall a bit so she can grab all the way around it. You can see that effect better from the side, in my previous post. There's carpet glued on and staggered platforms to jump onto to each side.



Once she gets to the top sometimes she climbs all the way around the tops of furniture to get to a door-mounted pull up bar, where I had hung some string for her to play with down below.



She'd rather attack it at its source.

Nooooo, please don't Deadpool! She's floppy and soft. Find another steed for your nefarious deeds! One that's hard and awful.



Thankfully they were both saved from the wiles of Deadpool by a young boy of hale constitution.

Jesus. Horrible Hamilton is a scourge. I only know of one cat that would disregard that loving thing...

Goomba! (#12) She didn't give a gently caress about anything.

Why? She is the best cat! Voting for another cat just plain doesn't make sense.

So at some point I had this box standing around on my desk. One day I came back home and Süße just sat in there. And continued to sit and/or sleep in this tiny box, ignoring her other sleeping spots for days. It was weird.




She looked so cute, that drat box survived getting trashed for weeks longer then I'd originally planned. Because come on, just look at this: :3:

You could do it yourself. But the prize for best dog would have to be dognip (which is roadkill and poop).

Late to the campaigning party but Butterscotch (#17) is here!




Butterscotch’s story is a long and triumphant one and it begins with a picture:



This arrived in my inbox in the fall of 2015. My wife and I foster cats and dogs from our local SPCA and Butterscotch was up for fostering.

Naturally, we had to have him.

What we knew about Butterscotch is that his owner was a little old lady who had recently passed away. She had, unfortunately, spent her last few years spoling the ever-loving poo poo out of Butterscotch. So much so that he ended up weighing in at 30+ pounds at the time of her death.



Butters arrived at our home nursing a wicked URI and was, to put in mildly, in real bad shape. The plan was for us to get him on a path to wellness and find him owners who could see him through to a good and healthful life.

That was the plan, anyway.

It became clear that, among his problems, he was also the cuddliest and sweetest cat that we had ever fostered up to that point.:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR-pG1i8aL4

Between that, peer pressure from the cute thread, and us just falling in love with him, he ended up being our first foster failure.



Since then, Butterscotch has been on a journey to a healthful life which has included…

Improved Eating Habits!

https://youtu.be/FaGTYCBg4II

Exercise!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb9Xo6teY7Q

And Better Hygiene!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnFI65ozp-c

And now, Butterscotch is down from 30 pounds to 15!





It’s been a bit of journey and we kinda had to drag Butterscotch Kicking and mowling to the weight he’s at now, but it’s had its good moments too:

We’ve danced:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixjG3R6KXds

We’ve sang:

https://youtu.be/6KY9FdfyK-c

We’ve watched movies together:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geOajqOpdHk

We’ve road tipped together:



And he’s helped me practice being a dad:




And now, Butters is healthy, and he’s happy to be here. He doesn’t need to win, all he wants is some kibble and cuddles:

We're 5 weeks into this marathon of hairballs and toxo, and we've raised ~1% of the value of Lowtax's life. I am truly whelmed by the generosity of you all and thank you from the upper left chamber of my heart. I forget is that one is a ventricle or aorta or clavicle?

I dunno. Last time I said something about July, but I was probably high then. I think the guys that bought banners for this thread should get the whole run, so maybe voting starts the day after the last banner drops off. I'm open to input from all the contestants.

The first voting thread is going to be posted in pet island to help avoid drive-by poo poo posters. Literally A Bird gave me the okay and would probably be happy to smite thread shitters. When the voting starts, I'd appreciate for poll watching and vote tabulation checkers to PM me if I screw up the count.
